Lam .Patent No. 91,741', .wat .am 22, reco.

, Thev Schedule referred to in these'Lettexs Patent parking pm n! thesame.

To all whom it concern lBe it knownthat I, Fannnnrc J. HART, of New Haven, in the 'county o f New Haven, and State vot Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in' (lancellinglresses;` and I' do hereby'declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description o t' theis'ame, `and which 'said drawings constitute part of this specification, and-represent in Figure 1 a side view, and in Figure 2 a front view. Y

Figures v3, 4, 5, 6,- detachedviews of the centrewheels enlarged. i

` This invention relates to an 'improvement in cancelling and similar exnbossing.pre'sses, the object being to make an adjustable press, so. that the same press may be used-for dierent impressions. To this end,

',lhc'invention consists in the arrangementoff` two lwheels, one above and directly over the other, on one of which the letter, ligure, or words are raised, and on the other, depressions are formed corresponding 'to the raised portions o f the first, so that by setting the two wheels, so that the projections -of the one correspond tothe depressions of the other, any article placed between such portions ofthe two wheels, and the wheels forced together by pressure, will emboss the thing so placed between the wheels, in accordance with the fi'gnres, letters, words, or design upon the two wheels.

In order to the clear understanding of my invention,

Iwill fully describe the same, as illustrated in the acconipanyingrawings.

A is the lower wheel, hung upon an axis, B, so as to be revolved thereon, and,-in connection with the said wheel, a table, O, is arranged, so as to lie flush with the upper edge-of the wheel, as seen in iig. 1.

' 1) is he second wheel, hung upon an axis, e, in av head, E, the said head being formed upon'an arm, F,

piv'oted ata, and sothat the wheel D will lie directly over the wheel, A, as seen in the drawings, so that when the head E is depressed, as denoted in red, iig. 1, the periphery of the two wheels will meet.

0n the periphery of one of the wheels, (here represented as the lower, A,) I raise a lettengure, or design, as denoted at d, figs. 1,' 4, 6, and on the other, a

depression, j, corresponding to the raised gure, as seenin figs.' 2, 3, 5

The two wheels bcingset so that one corresponds to the other, and iirm'lyheldin such position, by any suitable device, the paper or similar article placed be- Atween tl1etwo, and the upper struck down'thereon,

will emboss such article or material accor-digg to the meeting-design of.` the wheels. VIf Aanother designis required, turn the two wheels until such design is brought to the propenposition,

there securethe wheels, and make .the impression, as in ordinary embossing or cancellin,gz-presses.A

Several wheels, arranged in combination, will enable the production of combined designs.

I am aware that a single wheel has been constructed and adjusted for printing in cancelling-presses; I therefore' do not claim the arrangement, in acancellingpress, of a wheel, adjusted so as to press different iigures for cancellingoiy embossing-purposes; but

What I do claim as my invention, and desire tosc FREDERIG e.' HART." Y
